Hi, my name is Crystal. I decided to become a speech-language pathologist over twenty years ago when my own toddler was diagnosed with developmental delays and eventually Childhood Apraxia of Speech and Autism. Since graduating from the speech pathology program at Sac State in 2010, I have specialized in working with young children and their families in early intervention, often working concurrently in special education with children in preschool through high school. I am certified in multiple Hanen Parent Training Programs, Augmentative and Alternative Communication Evaluation and Training, Talk Tools Oral Placement Therapy, and more. I love that I’m able to provide a needed service to our rural community and support local families in obtaining high-quality services for their child.
